The Los Angeles Police Department hopes to hire 780 new officers with this potential influx of cash.

Police are getting a new influx of cash after violent robberies across Los Angeles have put communities on alert.

Others that work in Melrose, like Angel Rivas are trying to keep a low profile to stay safe, hiding his jewelry whenever he goes out. "The revised budget is acknowledgment that the city can't fix what it broke when it defunded the police department in the summer of 2020," said Jerretta Sandoz, vice president of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, the union that represents city police.

"For one they could voice publicly their appreciation for Los Angeles Police officers,"she said."They say it a lot behind closed doors — but publicly they don't say it. They could pay us more because we're understaffed and not paid enough."

Rico and sweep up all the gangs …

Great news but they need to get rid of the liberal DAs. That $ will do little with liberal scum bags running the show. Authorize stop and frisk and I bet you would see crime cut in half the first yr.

not enough! they need drones armored vehicles

That 87M should cover their liability in blowing up a south LA neighborhood this year. NEGLIGENT cops don’t need more guns/weapons, they need more TRAINING. Hopefully training will deter them from lethal force and destroying families. Hopefully an increase will help homeless.

They want to spend it tweeting more mugshots.

Lol

Good! They need the funds BackTheBlue

Good. Release. The. Krakken.

Yes by all means giving them a raise for not doing their job. Just throw more money at them.
